Biofilms as protective cocoons against biocides: from bacterial adaptation to One Health issues.
Review in Microbiology (Reading, England), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Bacteria in the food chain mostly live in communities associated with surfaces known as biofilms, which confer specific survival and adaptive abilities. In such communities, the bacteria mostly exhibit higher tolerance to external stress, and their recurrent exposure along the food chain to biocides used during cleaning and disinfection procedures raises concern about the adaptation routes they develop, both at single-cell and communal levels. In recent years, an increasing number of research subjects have focused on understanding the specific features of biofilms that enable bacterial populations to adapt to biocide exposure within a 'protective cocoon'. The first part of this review concentrates on the diversity of adaptive strategies, including structural modulation of these biofilms, physiological response or the acquisition of genetic resistance. The second part discusses the possible side effects of biofilm adaptation to biocides on antimicrobial cross-resistance, virulence and colonization features from a One Health perspective.
